Chapter 1 The Campus

The campus playground was brightly lit.

It was a pity for these kids. It wasn't necessarily good for a school to have too good of conditions. The bright lights at night made it seem like daytime, and they still had to do military training.

"Hey, look, a handsome young man is here." In a square formation near the northwest corner of the playground, a girl was kneeling on the ground, her legs being pressed down by her companion.

While doing sit-ups, her companion whispered, "Where? Where? Which direction?"

"Right behind you," the girl whispered. "The instructor is talking to him. Good opportunity, look quickly."

The girl doing sit-ups quickly turned her head to look into the distance.

She saw a middle-aged man with a boy, standing in front of the formation, talking to the instructor.

"Has the last big shot of Class 2 finally returned?" From the rear of the girl's formation, the male students were also doing sit-ups, and the discussion gradually grew louder.

"Hey, Da Pang (Big Fatty), you finally have a companion." A girl with stylish short hair turned around, revealing a cute smile, and looked at the male student who was struggling to do sit-ups without anyone pressing his legs.

"Ah." The male student called "Da Pang" was not actually fat. From a normal person's perspective, his figure was quite moderate.

But for an Awakened, he was indeed a "fatty."

As everyone knew, the total amount of Star Power of an Awakened was linked to their physical strength. This led Awakened to madly exercise their bodies, striving to improve their physical fitness.

These children with dreams were the same, each either as thin as a monkey or well-trained and strong.

Da Pang was one of the few people in Class 1 whose figure was "out of shape." Besides him, there were three other fatties, jokingly called Second Fatty, Third Fatty, and Fourth Fatty by the classmates.

Jiangbin No. 1 Middle School had 16 ordinary classes and 8 Awakened classes in this year's cohort.

This was because Jiangbin No. 1 Middle School had a prestigious reputation, which allowed it to attract so many Awakened students. Some smaller schools would be lucky to have one or two Awakened classes.

Moreover, unlike the class sizes of ordinary students, which often exceeded 40 or 50 people, each Awakened student class only had 24 people.

The standard for assigning Awakened students to classes was based on each student's academic performance and Star Chart status. Of course, academic performance only accounted for 30% of the total score.

Class 1 was known as the "Big Shot Class." With academic performance accounting for a smaller proportion of the total score, these children were selected, meaning they were basically the most talented in this year's cohort.

And Jiang Xiao's Class 2 was a class whose qualifications were not top-notch, but not weak either.

Since the military training started more than ten days ago, Class 2 had remained at 23 people, and no one had been transferred up from Class 3.

The students were privately discussing which big shot the school was reserving a spot for. Although Class 2 was worse than Class 1, its grades were still better than the other six classes.

In fact, in addition to the people in Class 2 waiting for their mysterious classmate to appear, students in the other 7 classes were also waiting for this mysterious figure.

They really wanted to see what kind of extraordinary person this guy was.

Finally, the mysterious classmate that everyone was looking forward to arrived!

He also had two eyes and a mouth, two arms and two legs, tall and thin, with a harmless appearance, not the ferocious figure that was rumored.

Da Pang struggled to do a sit-up, then stopped lying down, bent his legs, put his hands on his knees, looked at the figure in the distance, and said, "Hehe, Liu Ke, I know what you're thinking in that little brain of yours."

"Aren't you our communicator? You've got a smooth tongue." Liu Ke, the girl with short hair, smiled cutely and held up three fingers to Da Pang.

Da Pang: "Huh?"

Liu Ke: "Three minutes, I want all his information!"

"Three minutes won't do. How about the end of tonight's evening training session? I'll give it all to you then." Da Pang showed a confident smile.

"I knew Da Pang was the best!" Liu Ke's voice was soft and glutinous, extremely pleasant to hear.

Da Pang looked comfortable, and his confident smile gradually became a little lewd, and he said, "I can't work for nothing."

"What do you mean?" Liu Ke blinked her big, innocent eyes, and Da Pang's heart was about to melt.

"Leave me your WeChat." Da Pang rubbed his hands with a grin.

"Okay, then." Liu Ke reluctantly nodded, "But you have to get his WeChat for me first."

"Got it!" Da Pang patted his chest loudly.

In the distance, Jiang Xiao looked at the instructor in front of him and was still marveling at how small the world was.

This guy was none other than Lei Jin, Jiang Xiao's former personal trainer!

Ten days ago, Jiang Xiao thought that Lei Jin wanted to eat skewers and was going crazy from being cooped up. He even forgot to say goodbye and ran away directly from Xia Yan's house.

But he didn't expect that he was here to be an instructor for the new students?

How short of money was this guy? Doing odd jobs everywhere?

Jiang Xiao had also learned about Lei Jin's strength from the side. He knew that Lei Jin was a professional sparring partner, but he didn't expect him to be so professional. Jiangbin No. 1 Middle School actually hired him to lead Class 2?

Speaking of which, wasn't this military training?

Where was the military instructor?

"Crawled out of the Snow Plains? When Xia Yan told me, I was a little worried about you." Lei Jin said with a smile.

On the side, Director Gao stared blankly at Lei Jin. This gold-medal sparring partner actually knew Jiang Xiao?

"Ah, I crawled out, thank you for your concern." Jiang Xiao said gratefully. The two men had been together for seven whole days and could be considered to have developed some feelings.

Of course, although Lei Jin was a sparring partner, Jiang Xiao was unilaterally beaten.

Think about this sentence,

Um,

This was a rather sad sentence.

"There's nothing to worry about. I was worried for a moment when she told me, but then I forgot and went to eat skewers." Lei Jin said.

Jiang Xiao: "......"

Lei Jin looked Jiang Xiao up and down, paying special attention to Jiang Xiao's eyes, and said, "Well, your energy looks pretty good. After all, the Snow Plains are dangerous. It seems that your energy was spent on the right things."

Jiang Xiao: "Huh?"

"And the Snow Plains are so cold, it's not easy for you to operate there, right?" Lei Jin patted Jiang Xiao on the shoulder and said, "Although Earth is very comfortable, you have to maintain it, you must restrain yourself, you are still young, don't ruin your body."

Jiang Xiao: ???

"Are you living at school or going home?" Lei Jin ignored Jiang Xiao's confused look and continued to ask.

"Living at school, it's convenient." Jiang Xiao replied, "It saves me from chasing the 102 bus every day."

"Have you bought all your daily necessities? I see you're late. If you haven't bought them yet, you can stay at my place tonight." Lei Jin said very generously.

Jiang Xiao: "I've slept enough with you, your snoring, I..."

"Cough cough." On the side, Director Gao could only use a cough to find a sense of presence.

"Ah, Director Gao, look at me, I forgot everything when I started chatting. This kid used to be my student, and then he went to the Snow Plains for training. I was really worried that he wouldn't make it out." Lei Jin smiled and patted Jiang Xiao on the shoulder, and said, "You go back to the team first."

Jiang Xiao, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and black shorts, walked into a green formation.

The 23 people were divided into four rows, with 6 people in each row. Jiang Xiao naturally came to the last empty seat in the last row.

Just as Jiang Xiao was about to find an opportunity to integrate into the team, the male student in the front row turned around. He was well-proportioned, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked quite manly.

It was Da Pang student.

Da Pang smiled and spoke with a heavy Liaodong accent: "Hi, classmate, my name is Liu Bufan (刘步凡), the bu (步) from jinbu (进步, progress) and the fan (凡) from pingfan (平凡, ordinary). I'm the communicator of our class."

Of the three northeastern provinces, the further north you go, the closer the language is to Mandarin.

If the Beijiang dialect is close to Mandarin, then the Liaodong dialect is considered a relatively pure dialect.

Of course, even if the Beijiang dialect is close to Mandarin, there are still many local characteristics mixed in. To outsiders, they can still tell that they are from the three northeastern provinces.

Unexpectedly, before Jiang Xiao could answer, a classmate next to him spoke first, and in a sarcastic tone: "Hehe, communicator."

The male classmate had a scar on the corner of his mouth, and looked like a tough guy.

He seemed very disdainful of the title "communicator", turned his head to look at Da Pang Liu Bufan, and said sarcastically: "The whole school knows that you are the communicator of Class 2, hehe, Liu Bufan, I agree with you being pingfan (平凡, ordinary), but the bu (步) from jinbu (进步, progress), it seems like it's also the bu (步) from tuibu (退步, regress) ah?"

Liu Bufan's smile froze slightly, but he continued to smile and said, "The bu (步) from tuibu (退步, regress) is also fine. For example, right now, take a step back and the sea and sky will be wider, haha."

The male classmate was stunned for a few seconds, then snorted coldly and turned his head.

Jiang Xiao looked at Liu Bufan in surprise. Were the children nowadays so precocious?

Was this said from the mouth of a high school student?

Was his EQ so high?
